Aikens was ordered held in lieu of $35,000 bond during an initial video appearance in Little Rock District Court on Thursday morning.

Prosecutors said during the brief hearing that Aikens took control of 24 pounds of marijuana during a controlled delivery by authorities as part of an undercover drug operation.

Drug Enforcement Administration agents and Little Rock officers then followed him to a Wal-Mart parking lot, where they attempted to approach his vehicle to make an arrest, officials said at the hearing.

At that point, Aikens took off, trying to run over an agent as he did so, prosecutors said.
